JDM Time - Passo 2012

Aoa friends.
...
I have started this thread to share my new ride i.e. Toyota Passo 2012, so that people can get benefit from this thread and I can share my problems and get guidance from experienced members.
.
Before proceeding further I want to thanks to Allah Almighty, who has bestowed me (and all of us) with unlimited blessings? I want to thanks my parents for their incalculable hard work for us and family for the support? I am obliged to PW and its members who were always there to guide me esp. @muradi @huzaifa.haroon @karnol @us000 @asim867 @CerwinVega @villain @aliusman420 @Nabz90 etc.

First of all general details about the car:

0w20 grade is for a really cold weather.
You should not be using this grade in pakistani hot weather.
Manual may recommended it because the manual must be for another country. Using this can harm your engine in long term use.

Oil performs as per weather conditions, its characteristics change with engine temperature. Lower viscosity oil such as 0w-20 will provide qucik lubrication to engine when it is cold thus giving better protection and long life. Its mostly recommended for hybrid cars as they start and stop too often.
PS: Use what manufacturer recommends.

Never knew passo was hybrid.

As this car is imported the manual is made according to some other country. In uk for corolla altis 0w20 is recommended and is printed on its oil cap to pour only 0w20. That dosnt mean if you bring it here in pakistan you should Start pouring 0w20. Temperature is different.
Still 5w30 is a better choice than 0w20 even if car is hybrid in pakistan. Because i hardly think the temperature of engine will go in negetive even if the car is hybrid (with exception of northeren areas) So there is no need for 0w grade until you are operating the car in northeren areas where outside temperature goes below -20 degrees.

Correct me if i am wrong.

0w will just provide better lubrication even in Islamabad the temperature drops below 0 but I think is something like 0w will have 0 viscosity at 0 degrees comapred to 5 viscosity at 0 degress of 5w. (Not sure its a very confusing topic) but look at the operating temperature ranges.

Check ow-30
It goes from -35 degrees which is hardly the matter in pakistan. Thats why i said 5w30 is best. For both cold nd hot temperatures.

Never in pakistan you'll see -30 also. No offense but according to your theory we should use 20w-40

Hahaha toyota uses 20w50 in a lot of cars and they do just fine :p

I just described from temperature rating.
Thing is using less winter grade 5w or 0w helps in cold start of the engine which is inturn good for the engine life. In murree etc in winters the temperature easily goes down to -10 degrees. At that time the 5w grade will perform better than 20w grade which you have mentioned.
That is why 5w is enough lowest winter grade you wanna go. 0w is an overkill.

Most of people using 0w-20. I dont have the problem with winter grade 0w , i am concerned about the summer grade which is 20 which is way less if person is operating his car in outside temperature of 40 degrees. So atleast summer grade should be 30.

If he chooses 0w30 its a good choice. 5w30 is a good choice. But 0w20 or 5w20 is not a good choice for summers and hot weather.

Toyota has also introduced taglon 5w50 for pakistani weather which is good for all over pakistan. But it decreases the fuel efficiency too much.

the temperature mentioned for 0w-30 is -30 to +40 in manual. These temperature charts are not very accurate. I've always used Zic A+ 5w-20 not the cars requirement is much thinner oil.

I am in islamabad and it is good here it works very well till 40 degrees I study its specifications. Will c if I faced problems then will go for 5w30 liqui moly. It is good ryt??

I have used zic xq perviously for a long time.
Then shifted to liqui moly 5w40 when i started having different performances at oil changes. Turns out buying same oil from different places had different performances.

Well LM had better performance than zic. So now all family using LM and friends too. I was a zic fan but Its far from LM

liqui moly is expensive and they don't have fully synthetic below 5w-40 secondly I don't know why was there different performances maybe oil you used to get wasn't original. Order online.
